I'd like to see Display::excerpt() make use of the location field for the
word. Why are we doing a search for the first matching word when we've
indexed the location of the first occurrence of every word? :-)

The reason for the asymmetry probably has something to do with
valid_punctuation.

I think you mean to say displayed? After all, I think you're saying it
found a document with "I'll" in it, right?
